The last day of the royal meeting is here18:00, 19 Jun 20262.30 Norfolk Stakes - TRIBECA is the choice to show the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Trained in Ireland by Brazilian Robson de Aguiar, the colt is a son of Blue Point, who won five of his six races at Ascot and signed his career off by landing the King Charles III-Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes double in 2019.‌A 575,000-guinea purchase from the Tattersalls Book 1 yearling sale last October, Tribeca made his racecourse debut in a six-furlong maiden at Navan at the end of of April.‌Not unbacked at 17-2, Donogh O’Connor’s mount got off to the perfect start with a half-length winning margin from Barrow Boy, making all the running and always holding the upper hand on the run to the line.‌To say that form has worked out well is an understatement - both the runner-up Barrow Boy and third home Arizona Raider won next time out, while fourth-placed King Of Cloughan caused a 33-1 shock in the Windsor Castle Stakes on Wednesday.The step back to a stiff five won’t be a problem and, with plenty more to offer, Tribeca can prove his father’s son.A host of promising juveniles contest the final two-year-old race of the meeting, with American raider Ez Tina , Orthodox and Carry The Flag all with plenty to recommend them.‌NEWSBOY’S 1-2-3: 1 TRIBECA, 2 EZ TINA, 3 ORTHODOX3.05 Hardwicke Stakes - KALPANA, a two-time Group 1 winner with no penalty and Ascot form in spades, is hard to get away from.Since a third in the Ribblesdale Stakes here in June 2024, the Andrew Balding-trained mare has captured the last two runnings of the top-tier Fillies & Mares Stakes on Champions Day, coming home an excellent second to Calandagan in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes in between.‌Despite her defeat, it’s likely Kalpana’s performance in the King George last July rates a career beat as she looked set for victory when quickening to the front at the top of the straight, only to succumb to the French champion late on.Having signed off for 2025 with a successful defence of her Fillies & Mares Stakes title under Colin Keane in October, Study Of Man’s daughter made the perfect return to action in the Group 3 Aston Park Stakes at Newbury last month, giving West Wind Blows 4lb and a neck beating.The five-year-old is likely to step forward from that run and, not required to carry a penalty by the race conditions, rates a worthy favourite for a third course-and-distance success. Goliath, Calandagan’s Francis Graffard stablemate, lifted the King George in 2024 and is feared most, ahead of Best Secret, Jan Brueghel, and Giavellotto.‌NEWSBOY’S 1-2-3: 1 KALPANA, 2 GOLIATH, 3 BEST SECRET3.40 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes - SATONO REVE ran an honourable second in this race 12 months ago and has a strong chance of going one better.‌The 2-1 favourite for the final Group 1 event of the 2025 meeting, the seven-year-old, trained in Japan by Noriyuki Hori, threw down a valiant challenge inside the last of the contest’s six furlongs but still found all-the-way winner Lazzat half a length too strong at the line.Satono Reve has followed the same path back to Ascot this time around, beginning with the Takamatsunomiya Kinen, a Grade 1 race over six furlongs on turf at Chukyo, at the end of March.Successful by three-quarters of a length the previous year, Satono Reve duly mounted a successful defence of his crown, coming home two lengths to the good of Red Mon Reve.My selection then travelled to Hong Kong for the Group 1 Chairman’s Prize at Sha Tin four weeks later.‌Ka Ying Rising had beaten Satono Reve by two and a quarter lengths the previous spring and the horse considered by many to be the world’s best sprinter again asserted his superiority, extending his winning margin by a further two lengths as he collected for the 20th time in row.Mercifully, there is no Ka Ying Rising to deal with here and, with his ideal conditions and Ryan Moore on board for the first time, Satono Reve can turn last year’s silver into gold.Joliestar, Comanche Brave, last year’s third Flora Of Bermuda and Kind Of Blue are the strongest candidates for the minor medals.‌NEWSBOY’S 1-2-3: 1 SATONO REVE, 2 JOLIESTAR, 3 COMANCHE BRAVE4.20 Jersey Stakes - THE PRETTIEST STAR is poised to profit from coming down in both distance and class on the back of an excellent fourth in the 1,000 Guineas.‌Ed Walker gave the daughter of his 2021 July Cup victor Starman - dam Ediyva is a winning granddaughter of a half-sister to Irish Oaks heroine Ebadiyla and Gold Cup winners Estimate and Enzeli - her racecourse debut in a six-furlong fillies’ maiden at Nottingham last August.The Prettiest Star got off to an impressive start with a four-and-a-half-length win, which prompted her trainer to aim at the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket the following month.My selection ran well above her 12-1 odds with a half-length second to Zanthos before making her return to the fray in the Rowley Mile fillies’ Classic at the beginning of last month.A 16-1 chance, The Prettiest Star came home well to take a three-and-a-half-length fourth to True Love, a performance that caught the eye of Wathnan Racing’s talent-spotters.‌The evidence of The Prettiest Star's comeback is that this stiff seven furlongs will prove ideal for James Doyle’s mount, who still has untapped potential to draw upon as she takes on the boys.The latter comment certainly applies to the unbeaten Saber Strike, who isn’t passed over lightly, while Into The Sky and Catullus are also in the mix.NEWSBOY’S 1-2-3: 1 THE PRETTIEST STAR, 2 SABER STRIKE, 3 INTO THE SKY‌5.00 Wokingham Stakes - HAMMER THE HAMMER should not be underestimated back at the scene of his near-miss in 2025.After completing a hat-trick in the spring with two wins at Southwell and one at Chester, the Kevin Ryan-saddled son of Coulsty started the 9-2 second favourite for the Palace Of Holyroodhouse Handicap over five furlongs next time and rattled home to take second behind one-length winner Adrestia.‌A bid to go one better in the Stewards’ Cup at Glorious Goodwood was undone by a low draw but Hammer The Hammer fared best of the three-year-olds when fifth to Run Boy Run in the Ayr Gold Cup seven weeks later.Sixth to Binhareer at York in October on his final outing of 2025, the four-year-old ran as if needing his reappearance when 14th of 21 behind Jakajaro over five furlongs on the Knavesmire last month.Kevin Stott’s partner is now just 1lb above the mark from which he took the silver medal here last June and is poised for a big run at rewarding odds.‌In a Wokingham of near-endless possible outcomes, Double Rush, Binhareer, Realign and Stewards’ Cup hero Two Tribes are at the top of a long shortlist.NEWSBOY’S 1-2-3: 1 HAMMER THE HAMMER, 2 BINHAREER, 3 TWO TRIBES‌5.35 Golden Gates Stakes - PRINCLING will need a personal best, but one is surely on the way as he tackles a mile and a quarter for the first time.Two runs, 18 days apart, at Kempton Park and Newmarket last October saw Kingman’s son claim a pair of silver medals before he made it third time lucky at Wetherby at the end of April when making his return to action.William Haggas then aimed the colt at the one-mile Silver Bowl Handicap, re-routed from Haydock Park to Carlisle three weeks ago.‌Princling didn’t justify his status as the 2-1 favourite but did enough to make him of interest on his second attempt in the sphere, feeling the pinch under Tom Marquand running to the final quarter mile before keeping on to take fourth, beaten two and a half lengths, behind Blue Courvoisier.Both his finishing effort in Cumbria and his pedigree - dam Frankellina stayed on into sixth in the 2019 Oaks - make Princling ideal for 10 furlongs and a 4lb higher mark looks within range. Lost Boys, Harmonics, Perisher and Folk Pageant all merit a second look in an open heat.NEWSBOY’S 1-2-3: 1 PRINCLING, 2 HARMONICS, 3 PERISHER‌6.10 Queen Alexandra Stakes - A PIECE OF HEAVEN looks a stamina glutton, for whom this test looks ideal.A close third in the Irish Cesarewitch in September 2024, the son of Jukebox Jury has been sparely campaigned by Joseph O’Brien since. But second placings at Dundalk and back at the Curragh prefaced a return to winning form for the eight-year-old in the Chester Cup last time out.‌Never far from the action, A Piece Of Heaven devoured the two-mile, two-furlong and 140-yard distance, leading at the top of the straight and answering Dylan Browne McMonagle’s every call to fend off Maxi King by half a length in a bunched finish.An additional three furlongs and three yards shouldn’t present a problem for a gelding whose trainer has won two of the past three runnings of the meeting’s finale.Willie Mullins has claimed three of the last five, so Le Destrier and Columbus are worth of the utmost respect, in company with home hope Berkshire Sundance.Article continues belowNEWSBOY’S 1-2-3: 1 A PIECE OF HEAVEN, 2 LE DESTRIER, 3 BERKSHIRE SUNDANCE
